Three Fiestas in a Day: Barangays Acacia, Longos and Santulan

The merry month of May begins with three fiestas today in Malabon.

Since fiestas are commonly associated with the feast day of a patron saint, I went to the three barangays' chapels to take a quick look.  Except for the Longos chapel which is familiar to me because an old friend of mine used to live in that barangay, I didn't even know there were chapels located in barangay Acacia and Santulan.  We had to stop and ask around in order to find them.

And when we did find the chapel, there was no doubt that a fiesta was going on because of the festive buntings that decorated both the chapel and the street.


BARANGAY ACACIA
Feast of St. Joseph the Worker (San Jose)

Chapel located on Flerida Street, Barangay Acacia.  The image of St. Joseph is obviously being readied for a procession.

BARANGAY LONGOS
Feast of Senor de Longos

Chapel located on Borromeo Street, Barangay Longos.  There were banners located on Rizal Avenue announcing activities for the fiesta such as a walkathon, fireworks and procession.

BARANGAY SANTULAN
Feast of Mahal na Senor Sta. Cruz

Chapel located on Custodio Street, Barangay Santulan.  There was a small stage set up at the corner of the street, so there must be activities lined up for their fiesta as well.
